Student Artists
The Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce held the first contest at Warwick Veterans High School in 2013 for the inaugural t-shirt design. Subsequent contests were held for Signature Mile Markers. Students had the opportunity to submit up to three designs. Local educators, coaches, graphic designers, business leaders, runners and artists comprise a team of judges that make the selections to be used in the Rocky Point 5K. The last class of Warwick Veterans High School entered the contest in 2016 before the school was converted into a Middle School.
